Studs and duds in Cardinals’ 34-20 loss to the Bengals
The Arizona Cardinals lost their second straight by double digits on Sunday, falling to the Cincinnati Bengals 34-20 at State Farm Stadium.
They started slowly, fell behind 10, came back but then had no answer for Joe Burrow and Ja’Marr Chase.
There were some solid performances by players for Arizona and some not-so-solid play.
Below are the studs and duds from Sunday’s loss.

STUD: Hollywood Brown
He wasn’t perfect, as he had a terrible drop in garbage time in the fourth quarter, but he beat his defender consistently on Sunday. He finished with four receptions for 61 yards.
DUD: QB Josh Dobbs
STUD: DL Dante Stills
Stills picked up his first NFL sack and flashed other times. He finished with six tackles, the sack and two tackles for loss.
STUD: S K'Von Wallace
Wallace said after the game he played below the expected standard, but he wasn’t the problem. He had an interception and multiple great plays near the goalline.
DUD: CB Marco Wilson
Wilson did lead the team with 11 tackles. However, he was the primary defender covering Ja’Marr Chase with his 15-catch, three-TD performance. Wilson did not get his hand on a ball on Sunday. He was far from a reliable CB1.
